The nature of the charges, and the fact they are filed against a state trooper, has investigators across the North Country involved in the case.

Donah is being accused of two counts of rape, in two separate incidents, that are two years apart.

While New York State Police had little to say about the claims, they did tell News Channel 5 that Donah is based out of their Plattsburgh offices, that the alleged incidents did not occur while he was on duty, and that all involved in the case are "of age".

Court papers show one of the victims claims that Donah raped her back in June of 2010. The documents did not provide a specific date of the alleged attack, but did say the woman says it happened in the afternoon in a home on Rand Hill Road in Beekmantown.

The second accuser said she was raped by Donah in a home on the U.S. Oval in September of last year. Again, records did not reveal an exact date for these allegations.

News Channel 5 is purposely not giving exact addresses in order to avoid identifying the women in the case.

The accusations against a trooper has law enforcement and lawyers from Malone to Ray Brook, working the case, obviously, in part, to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.

The investigating officer in this incident was dispatched from the Ray Brook station, which is more than 50 miles from Plattsburgh.

In addition, the district attorney assigned to the case is Derek Champagne, who is based in Malone, which is in Franklin County, rather than Clinton County where the alleged incidents occurred.

In a phone interview, Champagne told News Channel 5, Donah did not meet his accusers while on the job. Champagne also said he wasn’t exactly sure why he was assigned to the case, but presumed it was because Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie may have had more frequent contact with a trooper based out of Plattsburgh.

As for Wylie, he also declined to appear on camera and advised us to direct comments to Champagne.

News Channel 5 even reached out to the head of the New York State Police, Superintendent Joseph D’Amico in Albany. He also declined comment on the matter.
